The geese have become a serious nuisance, causing unsanitary field conditions, resulting in disruptions in play for the local youth organizations. Holliston Parks and Recreation is piloting a policy change to allow for off-leash dog activity during restricted hours at Weston Pond, with the goal to deter the geese from congregating on that space.

Holliston is very Irish when it comes to ethnicity. While Boston is considered an Irish enclave, it is really the communities along the South Shore that are highly Irish populated. Places like Scituate come in at 42%. Holliston is one quarter Irish at 25.8% followed by the English 15.5% and the Italians at 15.1%.
